Spoiled Child

LETTERS FROM READERS

A NATIONAL news anchor summed it up best when he asked George W. Bush's wife, "Why is it that the more people see your husband, the less they like him?"

I think that the reason is becoming increasingly apparent. "Georgie" reminds many people of a spoiled 5-year-old who isn't getting his way. Some examples?

When "Johnnie" McCain offered to move toward keeping his commitment to "non-negative" campaigning rather than acquiesce, we heard from Georgie, "But he started it."

Georgie's "Johnnie betrayed the veterans" gaffe was equally bad.

On top of comments such as these, Georgie's increasingly sour stream of glib retorts do nothing to serve him -- comments such as "I'm certain that Democrats and Independents are voting for McCain just because they want to see [Al] Gore win."

It's becoming increasingly apparent that G.W. is nothing more than a "C" student who, with some charisma and parental backing, is accustomed to getting his way. Perhaps Georgie can get Mums and Daddums to help fight his battles on the nation's political playground.
